“And so you carried life for the world, Mary, as you fled, to protect that very life from threats of death. Joining the world's mass of displaced people you became Refugee, Alien, Immigrant, Homeless, and settled in a foreign land-- the only place to safely nurture your fragile dream. Like so many other women who flee violence, clutching their babies, you crossed the border defining you a stranger, dependent on foreign aid, welfare and hand-outs-- the charity of others-- to feed the Son of God.” MaryRefugeeImmigrantMother Of God Book:Soul Sisters: Women in Scripture Speak to Women Today Source: Soul Sisters: Women in Scripture Speak to Women Today
